Joe, it seems like a lot of work and talent to keep up with the player and add in the sound effects. we all know that we aren't "permanent" to this world... is anyone teaching and learning how to do what you do? this is amazing... I'd hate to see something like this lost to the digital age.

I'd like to learn

[@danielmurphy4415]

Fotoplayer trems was very weak in the early models but as the popularity of theatre organs prevailed the tremulant increased in the later models of the fotoplayers.

[@christinacutlass1694]

Omg! Fantastic!👏👏👏

[@AdamRamet]

It's assisted by "W" - and composed by "Vincent Rose" - the two are separate.

[@roderickfernandez5382]

Well it seems like 6 years since anybody's commented I hope I'm not alone

[@imdoingreatyou1938]

It starts at 0:56 :)

[@megelizabeth9492]

Does the Tremulant effect the whole organ? I hear it on the Violins and and Flutes, but I'm not sure on the Tubas,

[@danielmurphy4415]

Yes, it does in smaller organs that have less than 5 or 4 ranks usually have a trem for all of the ranks.

"Oriental, finally a normal song...- Never mind..." Did they make any pieces that's not over the top slapstick cartoony for this thing? XD

Greetings Joe, How do you do "recuts"? Um thinkin' an old modified tractor feed printer and special software. I remember Braille printers from the 90s. Ray Kurzweil did keyboards and devices for the blind, sounds right up his alley. Don

[@joerinaudo6228]

+umajunkcollector Hi Don, There are a few people that will still make 88 note recuts, but sadly not many. The original roll is scanned on to a computer with a special program that will transfer the scanned information to a mechanical punch press. Then you can make as many rolls as wanted.

[@ilfarmboy]

how do you know which buttons, cords you need to move when the roll is playing

[@autumnmissepic8498]

I assume its written on the player roll

[@ilfarmboy]

@@autumnmissepic8498 good idea

[@autumnmissepic8498]

@@ilfarmboy but who knows, maby he just remembered them

[@wr4393]

where do you find one of these?

[@jonasciliento336]

Over 10,000 were produced Only 52 survived And 12 actually work

[@megelizabeth9492]

Unless you try to get one custom made, I guess.

[@elfurrohetero3518]

Joe rinaudo had a friend I think, who gave him that photoplayer, Joe rinaudo and another person restored it and to find one you have to be in an auction of a photoplayer that doesn't work and buy it, then you ask someone and better a friend to restore it

[@The_Ballo]

Not sure what made this "oriental" :-\
